My Commentary: I don’t find myself on the street, arguing with strangers, but I would have neutered this beta boy before his leg ever returned to the ground. His testicles are obviously just ornamental, anyway…

My Commentary: Wow…”Law and order” sure looks a whole lot like “torture.” Ironically, if this man were a convicted criminal in prison, secured in handcuffs, this would easily be deemed “cruel and unusual punishment” in most States…

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artworkhere, being shared by the page, “Corrupt Frisco Texas Cops,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“When you didn’t get enough domestic violence as a child, so you marry into it.”

(J.D. Tuccille) Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin wants limits on virtual currencies, like Bitcoin, that help people keep their financial lives private from folks like him. Senator Dianne Feinstein wants government regulation of political speech by foreign agents—or maybe just by people with whom she disagrees. Gun control activists want more restrictions with which to threaten peaceful gun owners so that violent predators who break laws will have more things to ignore.

If ever there was a “there oughta be a law moment,” we’re living in it. At least, we’re living in one of all too many such moments. Because people are forever looking to the law as the solution to the ills they perceive in the world around them—often only to spackle over the failures of the previous round of laws. In the process, they’re forever forgetting that laws are usually nothing more than codified prejudices, imposed against resistant populations, by sometimes incompetent and often corrupt enforcers.
